It also helps you set up and optimize a rack in a manner that best fits your environment. Optimum Environment When installing the server in a rack, select a location that meets the environmental standards described in the following sections. Space and Airflow Requirements To enable servicing and adequate airflow, observe the following spatial requirements when deciding where to install the rack: Leave a minimum clearance of 63.5 cm (25 in) in front of the rack. Leave a minimum clearance of 76.2 cm (30 in) in the back of the rack. Leave a minimum clearance of cm (48 in) from the back of the rack to the rear of another rack or row of racks. 3-2 HP ProLiant DL145 Server User Guide

22 Server Setup HP servers draw in cool air through the front door and expel warm air through the rear door. Therefore, the front and rear rack doors must be adequately ventilated to allow ambient room air to enter the cabinet, and the rear door must be adequately ventilated to enable the warm air to escape from the cabinet. CAUTION: To prevent improper cooling and damage to the equipment, do not block the ventilation openings. The 9000 and Series racks provide proper server cooling from flow-through perforations in the front and rear doors that provide 64 percent open area for ventilation. CAUTION: When using a Compaq branded 7000 Series rack, you must install the high airflow rack door insert [P/N B21 (42U) and P/N B21 (22U)] to provide proper front-to-back airflow and cooling. CAUTION: If a third-party rack is used, observe the following additional requirements to ensure adequate airflow and to prevent damage to the equipment: Front and rear doors: If the 42U server rack includes closing front and rear doors, you must allow 5,350 sq cm (830 sq in) of holes evenly distributed from top to bottom to permit adequate airflow (equivalent to the required 64 percent open area for ventilation). Side: The clearance between the installed rack component and the side panels of the rack must be a minimum of 7 cm (2.75 in). Temperature Requirements To ensure continued safe and reliable equipment operation, install or locate the system in a well-ventilated, climate-controlled environment. The maximum recommended ambient operating temperature (TMRA) for most server products is 35 C (95 F). The temperature in the room where the rack is located must not exceed 35 C (95 F). CAUTION: To reduce the risk of damage to the equipment when installing third-party options: Do not permit optional equipment to impede airflow around the server or to increase the internal rack temperature beyond the server or to increase the internal rack temperature beyond the maximum allowable limits. Do not exceed the manufacturer s recommended ambient operating temperature (TMRA). HP ProLiant DL145 Server User Guide 3-3

23 Server Setup Power Requirements The installation of this equipment shall be in accordance with local/regional electrical regulations governing the installation of information technology equipment by licensed electricians. This equipment is designed to operate in installations covered by NFPA 70, 1999 Edition (National Electric Code) and NFPA 75, 1992 Edition (code for Protection of Electronic Computer/Data Processing Equipment). For electrical power ratings on options, refer to the product rating label or the user documentation supplied with that option. WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, fire, or damage to the equipment, do not overload the AC supply branch circuit that provides power to the rack. Consult the electrical authority having jurisdiction over the wiring and installation requirements of your facility. CAUTION: Protect the server from power fluctuations and temporary interruptions with a regulating uninterruptible power supply (UPS). This device protects the hardware from damage caused by power surges and voltage spikes and keeps the system in operation during a power failure. When installing more than one server, you may need to use additional power distribution devices to safely provide power to all devices. Observe the following guidelines: The power load must be balanced between available AC supply branch circuits. The overall system AC current load must not exceed 80 percent of the branch circuit AC current rating. Do not use common outlet strips for this equipment. Provide a separate electrical circuit for the server. Grounding Requirements For proper operation and safety, the server must be properly grounded. In the United States, you must install the equipment in accordance with NFPA 70, 1999 Edition (National Electric Code) Article 250 as well as any local and regional building codes. In Canada, the equipment must be installed in accordance with Canadian Standards Association, CSA C22.1, Canadian Electrical Code. In all other countries, the installation must follow any regional or national electrical wiring codes, such as the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 364, parts 1 through 7. Furthermore, you must ensure that all power distribution devices used in the installation such as branch wiring and receptacles are listed or certified groundingtype devices. Because of the high ground leakage currents associated with multiple servers connected to the same power source, HP recommends the use of a power distribution unit (PDU) that is either permanently wired to the branch circuit of the building or includes a nondetachable cord that is wired to an industrial-style plug. NEMA locking-style plugs or those complying with IEC are considered suitable for this purpose. HP does not recommend using common power outlet strips for this equipment. 3-4 HP ProLiant DL145 Server User Guide

58 Operating System Installation and Software PXE Deployment Preboot execution environment (PXE) is a component of the Intel Wired for Management (WfM) specification. This feature enables a user to configure a server and install an operating system over a network. To deploy an operating system to multiple servers, you can install a PXE deployment server on a network. Servers to be deployed then load an image over the network from the PXE server and execute it in memory. For each server that you are deploying, the PXE server must be connected to the NIC designated for PXE. A number of third-party PXE deployment tools are available for Windows and Linux. For additional information refer to ftp.compaq.com/pub/products/servers/management/pxe_wp.pdf When a PXE-enabled client boots, it obtains an IP address from a dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) server. The client obtains the name of the Network Boot Program (NBP) from the appropriate boot server. Then, the client uses trivial file transfer protocol (TFTP) to download the NBP from the boot server and executes the image. Software and Utilities ROMPaq Utility This section provides information about the following utilities and support tools.

Federal Communications Commission Notice Part 15 of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Rules and Regulations has established Radio Frequency (RF) emission limits to provide an interference-free radio frequency spectrum. Many electronic devices, including computers, generate RF energy incidental to their intended function and are, therefore, covered by these rules. These rules place computers and related peripheral devices into two classes, A and B, depending upon their intended installation. Class A devices are those that may reasonably be expected to be installed in a business or commercial environment. Class B devices are those that may reasonably be expected to be installed in a residential environment (for example, personal computers). The FCC requires devices in both classes to bear a label indicating the interference potential of the device as well as additional operating instructions for the user. The FCC rating label on the device shows the classification (A or B) of the equipment. Class B devices have an FCC logo or FCC ID on the label. Class A devices do not have an FCC logo or FCC ID on the label. After the Class of the device is determined, refer to the corresponding statement in the following sections.

88 B Electrostatic Discharge To prevent damaging the system, be aware of the precautions you need to follow when setting up the system or handling parts. A discharge of static electricity from a finger or other conductor may damage system boards or other static-sensitive devices. This type of damage may reduce the life expectancy of the device. Preventing Electrostatic Damage To prevent electrostatic damage, observe the following precautions: Avoid hand contact by transporting and storing products in static-safe containers. Keep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at static-free workstations. Place parts on a grounded surface before removing them from their containers. Avoid touching pins, leads, or circuitry. Always be properly grounded when touching a static-sensitive component or assembly. Grounding Methods There are several methods for grounding. Use one or more of the following methods when handling or installing electrostatic-sensitive parts: Use a wrist strap connected by a ground cord to a grounded workstation or computer chassis. Wrist straps are flexible straps with a minimum of 1 megohm ± 10 percent resistance in the ground cords. To provide proper ground, wear the strap snug against the skin. Use heel straps, toe straps, or bootstraps at standing workstations. Wear the straps on both feet when standing on conductive floors or dissipating floor mats. HP ProLiant DL145 Server User Guide B-1

89 Electrostatic Discharge Use conductive field service tools. Use a portable field service kit with a folding static-dissipating work mat.
